The Yarn Bombing Begins in Seven Months
|
A Note from Noel Hello fellow yarn bombers, We are very excited to get the Torrington Yarn bomb public arts project under way. We hope that as you meet with friends and family this Thanksgiving you will spread the word about this exciting project. I know I am looking forward to spending time with my team of friends and family over the next few months planning and executing a design for our site –what better way to connect with everyone. Attached you will find our first newsletter. We will expand this in the future by adding design tips and pictures of work in progress. Please share your ideas and photos with us on Facebook (Torrington Yarn bomb) or by e-mail so that they can be included. Newsletters will let you know about our calendar events. Yarn-ins, design sessions, lessons, and informational sessions will be scheduled in the next few months at the gallery and other locations throughout the area. Think about your design and the area that you would like to yarn bomb. Please make sure you register with us and let us know your site. It would not be a good thing if 20 teams made plans for the same tree! I’m looking forward to working with you over the next 7 months on this exciting venture! Noel Gallery Manager |
